Notice the Signs of Anxiety Panic Disorders

Bianca

Panic and anxiety disorders are present in over 2 million people in America. Anxiety can cause discomfort in your stomach, nausea, heart palpitations, short of breath and chest discomfort. Panic feels like an overwhelming distress without relief.

To help understand about anxiety disorders and how they are diagnosed, here are some facts. Twice as many women than men are diagnosed and treated. Physicians theorize that the numbers maybe closer, because men are more reluctant to seek help.

Some of the signs and symptoms of panic disorders are connected to the neurotransmitter serotonin and play an important role in the expression of the symptoms of depression and panic disorders.

When the body does not produce the correct amount of neurotransmitters, the brain of a women will be more affected, because women has more receptors. More serotonin receptors may account for a higher percentage of women, affected by anxiety.

Also men and women react differently to the anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication currently on the market and is directly related to the hormonal differences in the sexes.

The symptoms of anxiety panic disorder can reach its fullest intensity in 1 or 2 minutes. Most panic attacks won't last longer than 45 minutes. Anxiety attacks can last for a few hours and come on more slowly.

The initial diagnosis of a panic or anxiety disorder is most often in a person's 20's and 30's. It is uncommon for the first attack to happen in the teens or after 40. Even people who are thought to be emotionally well-adjusted are as prone to anxiety or panic attacks which increases the evidence that there is a biochemical reaction responsible for the disorder and that it isn't purely psychological.

Signs of an anxiety panic disorder are tingling in hands or feet, chest pain, shaking, dizziness, nausea and an overwhelming sense of fear or anxiousness.
